“Summer” (from The Seasons) Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
In darkness shrouded
The wakeful herdsman
Behold the Sun!
The village lads and lasses
Exhausted Nature, fainting, sinks
How welcome now, ye shady groves!
How refreshing to the senses
Behold, arising through the sultry air
The storm approaches near!
